Reduced graphene oxide exhibits high activity as Fenton catalyst with HO . radical generation efficiency over 82 % and turnover numbers of 4540 and 15023 for phenol degradation and H 2 O 2 consumption, respectively. These values compare favorably with those achieved with transition metals, showing the potential of carbocatalysts for the Fenton reaction.
